“The Bachelor” host, Chris Harrison, will not be returning to the show’s female-led version, “The Bachelorette,” Warner Horizon and ABC Entertainment announced Saturday, following controversy over comments Harrison made about “cancel culture.” He will, instead, be replaced, by two of the show’s former “Bachelorette” contestants, Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe.
Harrison announced he was temporarily stepping away from the show in February after controversy erupted over comments he made suggesting that social media should not be the “judge, jury, and executioner” of a current “Bachelor” contestant who was photographed attending an “antebellum”-themed fraternity party in 2018, dressed in full antebellum attire. Harrison also suggested that the contestant, who is favorited to win this season’s “final rose,” should be given “grace” and “understanding,” and allowed to explain herself and apologize.
